Hertz Mille Pro MPS 250 S4/S2 - Shallow 10-inch subwoofer for extremely compact enclosures
The Hertz Mille Pro MPS 250 S4/S2 is a 10-inch shallow subwoofer that delivers high sound pressure and precise deep bass despite its shallow mounting depth. It was developed for ultra-compact, sealed enclosures and performs reliably where space is at a premium â for example, under the rear seat of many pickup trucks. The driver achieves approximately 20% greater mechanical excursion than conventional designs, thus offering a strong ratio of enclosure depth, low-end extension, and power.
Technical Highlights
- Ultra-flat mounting: 83.6 mm (3.35 inches)
- Power: 500 W RMS, 1000 W Peak
- +20% mechanical excursion compared to conventional designs
- Robust, screwless mesh grille included
- Optimized for extremely compact, sealed enclosures
- Stable cast aluminum basket design
- Non-vented rear design for reduced enclosure depth
- 38 mm (1.5 inch) six-layer copper voice coil for high thermal capacity
- Air Intercooling REvolution (A.I.R.) to prevent air compression
- Horizontal 8-AWG plug terminals

Variant & Application
The MPS 250 is available as S4 and S2. Both variants are tuned for small, sealed enclosures from approx. 14 liters net and are ideal for shallow installations, e.g. under seats or behind trim panels. The centering with special support structure for spider and coil allows the magnet to be shifted further inwards â this reduces the overall height while maximizing linear excursion.

Installation & Compatibility
The MPS 250 S4/S2 fits into very shallow installation locations â for example, under seats or behind side panels. The non-vented rear allows for shallow enclosure depths, and the side 8-AWG terminals facilitate wiring. A screwless protective grille is included. For maximum control and precise bass, I recommend a small, sealed enclosure; if you want more output in the upper bass range and have space, choose the 19-liter ported tuning.
